The photo book is from my very first Week in the Life, 2012, and it was fun reading back on what I wrote, thought and photographed back then today, as I wrap up another intense documenting week with @aliedwards - so much fun to jump back into photography again when it's been perfect weather, midsummer and an all over, great week in my life. #ihannasartjournal #watercolorjournal #witl #aewitl #aewitl2022 #weekinthelife #documentinglife #midsummerinsweden #sweden #artjournaling #blurbphotobook #enveckailivet #creativity #aeweekinthelife
Midsummer has passed and this years first sweet pe Midsummer has passed and this years first sweet pea flower opened up yesterday on my balcony. Yay! Now I can't wait to see if I get other colors as well. But the balcony is filled with yellow, red, purple and green in little pots all over. A tiny miniature garden, my garden. #onmybalcony #witl2022 #aewitl2022

Thumbs up, it's Friday! AND the newest video on my Thumbs up, it's Friday! AND the newest video on my YouTube channel Studio iHanna is an "ode to hands", so click on over and give it a heart, thumbs up or comment - what ever you like - if you too are a fan of having hands and maybe forget about them at times? They're just there - but oh my, what things they can accomplish, right? They're such useful tools for art, craft, creativity and beyond... I love using mine for crochet, knitting, painting, drawing, writing, texting, snapping photos, stitching, blogging, doodling, sewing as well as of course, cutting and pasting. #ihannasartjournal #gluebook #gluebooking #hands #odetothehands #thumbsup #heartthis #magazine #magazinecollage #enmassegluebook #enmasse #enmassejournal #kagedfish #youtuber #nyyoutubevideo #fingrar #collage #collageartist #artjournaling #cutandpaste #gluebookenthusiast #gluebookcollage #enmassejournal #collection #collectingimages

I need to use more postcards in my journals!

Is it even finished? And can you share "work" / id Is it even finished? And can you share "work" / ideas / art / projects before they're 100 % done? Before you've had to digest it yourself, then arranged them, think about it - and moved on? I don't know, so no answers from me. What do you think? I'm the kind of person who needs time to "think" before I post, so it's rarely in the right now after I finish something that I share it. I just need time, I guess.

Saturday stitching / WIP. I started this little p Saturday stitching / WIP. I started this little project last night while watching the new Batman movie, just because I really felt a need to do some hand stitching. My May page for the Journal of Stitchery is done, and that video is uploaded to YouTube (hint: it's applique / textile collage of a bird) so I guess I was feeling a little stitch withdrawal, but now my fingers are aking after sewing through acrylic paint for a while, so maybe I need a coffeee break? But stitching is so soorhing for my soul, I just want to keep going! ☺️ #ihannasembroidery 🥰 #journalofstitchery #mixedmedia #mixedmediatextiles #handstitching #sewingtherapy #handsewing #embroideryfloss #embroderylove #embroidery #WIPjournal #acrylicpaint #slowcrafting #slowstitching #wipembroidery #seedstitch #paintedcloth #enjoytheprocess #doitfortheprocess #artistlife #roxysjournalofstitchery #broderigarn #broderi #frittbroderi #blandteknik #colorfulbackground #colorfulcrafts #textilecollage #textileartistsofinstagram
Picking and choosing in my lovely stash of vintage Picking and choosing in my lovely stash of vintage lace... I'm making textile journal pages for my Journal of Stitchery, and in the most recent video on YouTube you can see how the first couple of pages were made. I included the thought process as well as a bit of embroidery and hand stitching, and of course the final result. I hope you will like it. #ihannasembroidery #ROXYSJOURNALOFSTITCHERY #journalofstitchery #textileart #vintagelace #lacestash #stash #textileartist #textilematerial #judehill #honeyfolkclothing #studioihanna #roxyinspiration #youtubeinspiration #flosstube #embroidery #frittbroderi #broderi #spets #loppisfynd

May is always an intense birthday month for the th May is always an intense birthday month for the three guys in my life, and one of them, my little brother, turned 30 years old! He made us dinner, because that was he wanted to do for his birthday. 🥳💕 New leaves & beautiful blooms everywhere, an intense worry for how I'll spend the summer months & a whole heap of embroidered book pages done (coming to YouTube tomorrow) - that was my May. Shared very little to Instagram but started to write in my diary again, and I consider that a BIG progress in the right direction!

I can't resist pretty fabrics... This was just scr I can't resist pretty fabrics... This was just screaming my name and had to come home with me, right? Well, at least I thought so. I am trying to downsize my "collection" of mostly thrifted pieces of cloth, but it is SO HARD. I love all of them, and I have SO many ideas on how I could use them... In the future. Someday. Soon. Very soon... And then a few more years pass and I come back to the boxes of fabric intended for great things and I feel sad that they're still in there. Still... sometimes I add a fat quarter or a thrifted piece of especially yummy fabric, but I must say it is more and more rare that I splurge on fabric. But in any case, I love fabrics even if I feel like it's a struggle to maintain them within the allocated shelf space... #ihannacrafts #fabric #fabrichoarder #prettyfabric #prettyFQ #bookbindery #timlesstreasures #bookbinding #bookbindingcloth #bookbindingfabric #marbledfabric #marbledpaper #newFQ #fatquarter #quiltingfabric #fabricstash #newfabric #collectingfabrics #fabriccollecting #notsewing #fabriccravings #tygsamling #scraps

White on white textile ATC that I made about 11 ye White on white textile ATC that I made about 11 years ago or so, and traded to one of the ladies in my embroidery group. I refound it at the embroidery exhibition this weekend and snapped a photo because I'm not sure I had documented this one... I usually find it easier to part with my artwork when I know I have it documented, in that way I remember what's not here anymore. Do you guys do that too?
